Cut Chemist On His New Album and Summer Jamming
In my ongoing quest to avoid asking the 1,247th consecutive musician what they hope to achieve in the future, I discussed Summer Jamz with the Cut Chemist: specifically, his love of 80s French Industrial music, Metric, and that Michael Jackson fellow. We also discussed the new album that he hopes to drop next Spring, from which he will unveil several tracks tonight at the Getty. Cut from the final draft was was the revelation that Lucas Macfadden listens to almost zero new hip-hop, and continually returns to his old Main Source, Organized Konfusion, and De La Soul albums. I cannot really fault this.
If for some reason, you’re scrunching your face as to why I’d care enough to interview the former DJ from Jurassic 5, then obviously you never heard Brainfreeze, his live funk and soul mix with DJ Shadow (or its worthy sequels, Product Placement and The Hard Sell). Thankfully, we can remedy this just in time for Saturday night.

i went to go see Cut Chemist this weekend at the Getty but the damn line was out the door so we went to see Novalima instead. He used to DJ at Star Shoes in Hollywood every Saturday night, mostly 7 inches
What’s the Altitude is my jam … “she gave me head — phones, said have you heard this sound”

Cut Chemist was so dope at the Getty on Saturday. The line was crazy to get in so we parked and walked to the Getty, then didn’t want to wait for the tram and hiked to the top of the hill and made it in 1 minute before he dropped his intro!
Such a great set and the visuals were great too. Glad to hear he has a new album coming out, can’t wait to hear it.
